ABSTRACT:
In a magneto-optical disk for recording, reproduction or erasing with a laser beam, which comprises a film of four-layer structure consisting of a first dielectric layer, a magneto-optical recording layer, a second dielectric layer and a metallic layer, laid on a disk substrate provided with guide tracks, temperature distribution of the magneto-optical recording layer is controlled by controlling the thermal diffusivity of the metallic layer, and recording/reproduction/erasing repetition characteristics are improved thereby. In the disk of the present structure, the temperature is elevated in a broader area from the center of laser beam, and thus a thoroughly broad erasing domain width taking a track offset into account can be obtained and no recording domains remain after the erasing. The reproduced signal output is increased by 4 dB, as compared with that obtained by a disk of three-layer structure without any metallic layer, because the beam utilization efficiency is increased owing to both Kerr effect and Faraday effect. When the disk of the present structure is subjected to field modulation recording, tails of arrow-feather-shaped recording domains peculiar to the field modulation recording can be shortened and interbit interferences can be overcome, resulting in an increase in C/N (S/N) ratio and the high density recording can be made.
